I'm in the UK for 4.5 years and one of my biggest dreams is move to the US...

Main advantage of being contractor? Much better pay... They say - "no job security" - but there is no such term anyway.

Is the dev scene bad in the UK? Why are you so interested in moving to the US?

The dev scene in the UK is not as great as it is in the US, but it's good. Perhaps the second best after the US.

US is appealing because it's an english speaking country, has a good dev scene and is an interesting country to live in.

Why would you ever want to move here?

You think the NHS is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.
